A Stewartstown man was charged after pulling out a gun during an argument, according to a news release.

On Friday around 7 p.m., officers from the Southern Regional Police Department were dispatched to 106 N. Third St. in New Freedom Borough for a report of an argument involving a man with a gun, police said.
